With his sentencing in New York now postponed indefinitely, it's safe to say the attempt to prosecute Donald Trump has come to an end. I've collected all my @NYMag stories on Trump's trials in one place. You can find the archive here andrewrice.net/trumptrials

When Trump returned to court after lunch, aide Boris Epshteyn handed CNN's Kaitlan Collins a stack of color photo printouts and said, "Can you give that to George when you see him?" She looked befuddled. Epshteyn added, "Conway.” Trump reportedly travels with a portable printer
What's on Trump's mind? Trump posted photos of George Conway at his 2016 Election Night party this afternoon on his Truth Social, apparently between breaks in the trial. "Mr. Kellyanne Conway celebrating my Victory in 2016!" he wrote.

My own read on Juror 2, whose sympathies were the matter of much baseless speculation, is that he’s a super consumer of news. Follows Trump. Follows @MuellerSheWrote. He was the defense’s worst nightmare. He probably still wonders what the deal was with Alfa Bank
Replying to @Olivianuzzi
Following an account that posts Trump’s statements from Truth Social ≠ citing Truth Social as your primary source of news. Minor distinction, wildly different implications about Juror no. 2’s political sympathies.
